    sounds like a law office

    I'd start with the newest to see if it works, then work your way backwards if it doesn't.

    Isn't this quite dependant of resolution and frame rate? I have a 1070 and 6600K I use to do some light 4K 60Hz gaming and 1080P 60Hz and haven't had any issues at all. The 6600K is overclocked though.

    This would be a good idea if the wipe doesn't work.

    6W, that was funny. I still believe it's a software issue because it's locking at 30Hz on multiple games. Can you try more games and see if it continues to be at 30Hz? Boot into safe mode and use DDU to wipe the drivers, it's much more effective. That being said, having a cheap PSU is like running cheap gas so it's a worthwhile upgrade regardless of it being the issue or not. @Gordon Bennett The only one trolling is the guy reporting people for opinions about computer components. Opinions that are shared by many in the community. You don't agree, and that's fine, but that does not make you any more correct.

    What GPU did you have before and were you having any issues with it?
  8. JJBTEXAS
    it's probably an Antec and he just typoed. OP, can you be more specific on the PSU?
  9. JJBTEXAS
    4790K should be perfectly fine, definitely not bottlenecking a 1060 It might not be great, but I doubt it's power-starving a 1060
  10. JJBTEXAS
    Make sure there isn't any software running in the background that doesn't need to be running. Are you using a overclocking utility like MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision? Those have a setting to limit FPS that might be adjusted to 30FPS for some reason. What is the GPU utilization % while gaming?
  11. JJBTEXAS
    Personally, I run my gaming/work PC is Win10 and my personal PC is Linux Mint. Normal productivity on Linux is great, but openGL is meh and a lot of my work software in Windows only.

    Awesome build so far!

    Short: Yes Long: Yes, but I'm pretty sure you'll be limited to 30Hz edit: Nevermind, it should have HDMI 2.0 which is good for 4K 60Hz
  14. JJBTEXAS
    20% at idle is completely fine. Just to be clear, it ramps up past 20% under load correct?
  15. JJBTEXAS
    PWM is a method of modulating power digitally and is used where having variable characteristics (motor speed, light intensity, etc) is required. For example, if you want to run a 12V motor off a 12V battery at 50% speed, you would switch the 12V source off and on (for an equal amount of time). The higher the frequency of this switching, the smoother the operation is. In practice, this means the frequency to which this works is tens to hundreds of times a second, not once every 2 seconds. The most likely reason this is happening is because he's putting just enough load into the card that it passes the threshold temperature for fan stop, cools itself back bellow said threshold and repeats this cycle. OP - The fans will be fine. My concern is that the card would be reaching the fan stop temperature threshold at idle. I would return the card to the factory fan curve and let the computer idle for a bit. If it's still doing this, take note of the GPU temp and post it here.
